“It’s a day where people gather and do volunteer or service activity in their local communities (and then, usually, go drink),” says the announcement.

More than 214 local subreddits have already schedule events in their communities on October 5, 2013, including Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus, Hawaii, London and Bangalore.

“Birmingham, AL is getting together to help clean up a local nature preserve, Orlando is volunteering at a local Ronald McDonald House to help families of sick children, and Washington, DC is helping a local food bank.”

For those interested, you can check for an event in your area. If you’re planning an event and your subreddit isn’t listed, alert the mods and the organizer at reddit will update the list.
